Intensive Rooftop Landscaping

Intensive Green Roofs are more elaborately designed roof landscapes, such as accessible roof gardens. They are suitable for lawns, perennial plants and with a deeper layer of growing medium, for shrubs and trees. Integration of walkways, terraces, driveways or play areas, ponds etc. are also possible. There are virtually no design limits, provided the structure of the building caters for them.
